Website MundoNarnia unveiled some 33 new photos from the set of Voyage of the Dawn Treader. They include Dinian, a minotaur, some fauns, Will Poulter as Eustace, and a very Strider-esque Ben Barnes as King Caspian.

Karine twittered us about Imogen Heap’s new album, which is releasing August 24th or 25th depending on what part of the world you live in, called Ellipse.  It includes a song called 2-1, which she wrote for Prince Caspian, but was decidedly too dark for the soundtrack, according to the music producers on the film.  She decided, rather than letting good music go, to include it in her new album, which she finished a few months ago.  If you would like to hear the song, or even the full album, we currently have the official music player here.  The song is track #8, and it is 4 minutes and 42 seconds in length.

Welcome to the mailbag, where we answer fanmail that you send in, over the course of the week.  For those that don’t know, we’ll take your questions, and if we don’t know the answers, we’ll try to get the answers from people that would know.  We might even make something up!  I have a very broad sense of humor, on top of a vast knowledge of film, music and comics with a wide range in taste and a great memory that serves to bring great comparisons or answers to your questions.

Aslan’s Country has posted an interview with Narnia storyboard artist Tom Nelson.  He speaks about his time working on the Narnia films, as well as working with both Andrew Adamson and Michael Apted.  He also goes into how he got into storyboarding as well as the process of storyboarding.  He’s storyboarded on both Prince Caspian and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.  It’s a great little interview, and I hope that you enjoy it.

Portugese Narnia Fansite MundoNarnia.com had the opportunity to interview Tom Nelson, a storyboard artist who has done work on all three Narnia films so far, including the upcoming Voyage of the Dawn Treader.  How the interview came up is one thing, but they’ve alerted us to it, which you can read here.

Ben Barnes is a very down to earth guy, and provides a really good example of what he went through on the promotional tour for Prince Caspian.  He mentions New York, where I saw him about four out of the seven days that I was there, and sometimes twice in one day, so I can attest to what he says about his experience there.

It can be hard work being a Hollywood hero. Just ask Ben Barnes, a.k.a. Prince Caspian, star of the billion-dollar-grossing Chronicles of Narnia franchise.

It’s been more than a year since the release of Prince Caspian, and it’s just been nominated for an award.  More specifically, concept artist Justin Sweet has been nominated for Best Product Illustration for The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.  The Chelsey Awards are given for excellence in science fiction and fantasy art or illustration. The awards have been presented since 1985 and are run by the Association for Science Fiction and Fantasy Artists (ASFA). The awards were named after the artist Chesley Bonestell after his death in 1986.  They are presented at the World Science Fiction Convention.  The convention will take place in Montréal, Québec, to be held Thursday 6 August – Monday 10 August, 2009.

Sorry that this week’s mailbag is a day late. I had some business to attend to. Namely, there were ghosts to be busted, and I was the best Ghostbuster for the job.  On Tuesday, a game that I had been waiting for most of my life to play was finally released.  Not only that, but it was released in roughly three variations, two of which I know for sure used the actors from the original movies.  Ghostbusters The Video Game was released for most systems, of which I got it for Xbox 360 and Wii as well as DS.  I have beaten the game on the 360, and just started playing the Wii version, which is a very different experience from the 360 version so far.  And I’ve loved almost every minute of it, save for some small problems, and the difficulty level of the game when sometimes, even on easy.  When I was 8 or 9, I went to the arcade (!) to play the Ghostbusters game, only to be disappointed by it for not having a similar style of play to that of the movie, and it’s about time they’ve made the game that I dreamed up at such a young age.  But this isn’t what you’re here to read about, you want to hear answer to Narnia fan mail, so here we go.

This week’s mailbag is a little late because I was waiting for the upgrade to the software on which NarniaFans.com runs.  It finally was released late last night, and by that time, I was too tired to write this.  Not to mention that I’m working on a secret project that I think you’re all going to love.  But there’ll be more time for that in the future.  If you want to submit a question as to what it could be, hint free, be my guest.  I’ll answer every question with one that brings you closer to the answer.

A new Narnia fan site has just launched and they have an interview with John Dickenson, who worked as a concept artist for Prince Caspian.  He also spent some time working on The Voyage of the Dawn Treader:

How goes work on the Dawn Treader?

“It’s been over a year since I worked on it up in L.A. They are now shooting it down in Australia. It was my highlight so far in my career to be a part of. The 3 of us(Justin, Vance), got to work with Director Michael Apted, who was amazing to work for. We really liked the way he went about making a movie. And we also got to work with an amazingly talented Production Designer named Jan Roelfs. He had some great takes on the way this film should look and feel. We also met with Wetta’s Richard Taylor for an afternoon. He was a great inspiration. We hope to get the chance to work with him in the future. He left when we did, so I have no idea how the new PD will do on it. But the work we created was some of our best I feel. Once the movies out, I’ll post all my art on my website.”
